With the lockout likely on it's way out the door, Buffalo Bills starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick took some time out Thursday morning to speak with Howard Simon and myself about a number of things.

Among the topics discussed, Fitzpatrick says he's feeling antsy to get back to practice, he called C.J. Spiller an 'X-Factor' for the coming season, and also said how team representative George Wilson has been keeping them posted on the progress of the hopeful end to the lockout.

Fitzpatrick also said he and the Bills did not have talks about an extension before the onset of the NFL Lockout in March. He has one year remaining on his contract.
